“…[ 27 ] proposed that the gingivitis score changes in direct proportion to the dosage of vitamin D supplementation. [ 28 ] They observed that gingival score (baseline) every month comparing the baseline gingivitis score with later visits after the patient was given the oral vitamin D supplementation dosages from 500 to 2000 IU with results better with higher dosages ( P < 0.0001). There is no clear evidence that vitamin D can prevent periodontitis or that this association is the cause.…”

Aim: Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of the periodontium that is instigated by microbial biofilms developed on the teeth. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the vitamin D status of gingivitis and periodontitis patients while maintaining a healthy group as the control using simple low-cost chairside pre-coated with 25-OH Vitamin D antigen rapid test kits. Materials and Methods: From outpatients visiting the college’s periodontics clinics, a total of 101 patients were screened. The study sample includes 38 patients in the periodontitis group, 32 in the gingivitis group, and 31 in the healthy group. A middle-digit needle was used to collect blood samples, which were put into a test cassette with membrane that had been coated with 25-OH Vitamin D antigen on the test line area of the strip. Vitamin D Quick Test (Natejah) Semi-quantitatively detects 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) in human finger-stick complete blood at a cutoff convergence of 30 ± 4 ng/mL. Vitamin D blood levels below 80 nmol/L are considered to have deficient vitamin 25(OH)D levels. Clinical parameters between healthy, gingivitis, and different stages of periodontitis subjects were compared using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison. Fisher’s exact test was done to compare vitamin D levels in the three groups. Results: Fisher’s exact test revealed that there was a statistically significant increase in the number of subjects with stages 4 and stage 3 periodontitis who lacked vitamin D levels (less than 80 nmol/L). Whereas least deficient in Vit D were noticed among Healthy and Gingivitis subjects. When compared to healthy individuals, gingivitis, and various stages of periodontitis had significantly higher mean PI values in a Tukey’s multiple comparison. Vitamin D deficiency was found to be 27.5% in subjects with gingivitis and 71.5% in subjects with periodontitis. Conclusion: Periodontitis is associated with vitamin D deficiency, in contrast to gingivitis and healthy subjects. The severity of periodontitis was likewise linked to the amount of vitamin D in the individual’s blood. When compared to expensive, time-consuming, and laborious laboratory methods, the findings of this study suggest that a simple inexpensive chairside pre-coated with 25-OH Vitamin D antigen rapid test kits can be considered a viable alternative for determining vitamin D levels.

Background: Inadequate nutrition can affect oral health, including periodontitis and caries. Compromised oral health can also alter food choices and negatively lead to poor nutritional status. Therefore, current and future dentists should not neglect the nutritional issues of patients.This study aimed to assess the perceptions and practice of general dentists and dental students regarding nutrition counseling. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was used which included four parts of demographic information, 9 questions regarding knowledge, 6 questions regarding attitude, and 10 questions regarding practice with respect to nutrition counseling. The questionnaires were administered among senior students and dentists in Yazd. Data were analyzed by the Chi-square test and t-test (alpha=0.05). Results: 98 (71%) dentists and 40 (29%) students participate. The mean knowledge score was 7.12±1.75 in dentists and 6.48±1.2 in students out of 9. The mean knowledge score of dentists was significantly higher than students (P=0.03). Mean practice score of dentists and senior students were 3.26± 2.43 and 3.20± 1.82 out of 10, respectively. No significant difference was found in mean practice score of two groups (P=0.879). Conclusions: The knowledge level of both groups was acceptable but the quality of practice was poor in dentists and students.

“…Calcium plays a crucial role in many aspects of human health, including the formation and metabolism of bones, the activation of clotting factors, and the regulation of blood pressure and nerve functions [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Dietary calcium deficiency is a worldwide public health concern [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

Inadequate calcium intake is common in the US. Trends in calcium intake among the US population have been less studied, especially in more recent years. We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2000 to 2017–2018 to study trends in calcium derived from diet and dietary supplements among the US population aged 2 years, stratified by sex, age group, race, and ethnicity. Among the 80,880 participants included in our study, a substantial portion consistently lacked sufficient calcium intake, even when considering calcium from supplements. Concerning trends were observed over the more recent ten years (2009–2018), with decreased dietary calcium intake and no significant improvement in the prevalence of dietary calcium intake < Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) or the prevalence of taking calcium-containing dietary supplements among them. Decreasing trends in dietary calcium intake were more concerning among men, children, and non-Hispanic Whites. Attention should be given to subgroups with higher calcium intake requirements (e.g., 9–18 years and 60+ years), and subgroups with low levels of dietary calcium and a low prevalence of obtaining calcium from dietary supplements (e.g., the non-Hispanic Black subgroup). Concerning trends of calcium intake were observed among the US population from 2009 to 2018. Tailored guidance on dietary choices and dietary supplement use is required to change consumers’ behaviors.
